Altair liked rats, she really did. They helped a lot in this war. And she liked being leader, because then the information goes to her. Or Chase, but this had been something that had gone to her, and she decided that it was time for action. It made her grin, thinking about it as she strutted into the cafeteria. She was confident in this area, even with the war going on. She was a Fire, after all, and she was top dog. She had nothing to be afraid of. She got a bottle of Coke, but that was as much as she was getting today. No, even for a model she did eat quit a bit. She was cutting back now under orders, but she enjoyed a Big Mac when she could get her hands on one. Her body didn’t speak as much, thanks to the fact she also went to a gym. She couldn’t understand eating just salads all the time. She compared it to her love life. What was the fun of having only one person around, the same old guy to touch you, a body and a personality that you knew so well it got boring. Altair never saw the appeal of monogomy, she didn’t think one person could keep her on her toes forever.
And speaking of love, she found the curly top of a boy she was looking for, sitting at a table with the Thunders. He was eating some fries, nodding his head as a girl spoke to him from across the table. She walked up to him, and pushed the guy who was sitting next to him away a little so she could get in close to Mr. Samson Fisher. He looked at her curiously, and she believed she saw recognization in those green eyes. Her smile was broad as she said, ”Samson, right?” This was really just a prelude, and he nodded. She reached over to steal one of his fries and he appeared to be waiting for something else. Right, she forgot he was mute. God, how fucking annoying. So he just didn’t talk, she figured? Or did he have another way to communicate? She didn’t know. ”Altair. Do you know me?” She spoke to him like he had a hearing problem as well, and she noticed that the girl across from her was giving her a look so she glared right back before turning her attention to Samson. He lifted his eyebrows as he cupped his ear as if encouraging her to speak louder.
She might have been snippier if she hadn’t seen someone walking by, a certain redhead who used to be part of her alliance. A coy smile came to her face, and she shoved Samson’s arm lightly, chuckling. ”Stop that, Sammy,” she said, and a frown twitched at his lips with her last word. ”You’re so mean.” She shook her head before sliding on closer to him. He looked uncomfortable, and turned his head to eye her flatly. It was actually a bit terrifying, but she didn’t think he’d attack her, right? For one, a lot of guys had this thing against fighting girls. She didn’t quite agree with that, she could take care of herself, she was quite capable as a person, not just as a girl. And she wasn’t doing something wrong now, was she? Maybe taking a strand of his hair in her finger was inappropriate, but she wound it around, still with a smile on her face. ”Your hair, do you ever brush it?” she said, even though it was clear she didn’t mean it as an insult. She sat far too close, and he turned his head to look at the person who sat on the other side. A person who wasn’t moving. He was trapped.

Frustration. That is exactly what Harley was feeling as she got ready to go to the mess hall for lunch. Her professor just didn’t understand that she wasn’t going to get Biology. She wasn’t equipped for such things, and Harley refused to cut open the damn frog. She just wouldn’t do it. It may have been because she lived with a bunch of Earth people, she didn’t really know. All she knew was that she wasn’t cutting it open, and looking into the poor creatures stomach, and other organs. So, the professor decided that instead of cutting open the frog, Harley could write a ten page essay. Honestly, these teachers didn’t know what they were doing to them. It was like the teachers got off on torturing kids. Harley slung the backpack over her shoulder, and headed to the mess hall to eat. Lord knows she needed the food as fuel for her next class. It had been a few months since being back in classes, and she hated it. Granted, she didn’t like Charolette being in the hospital either, but she did not miss school what so ever. The great thing was that the Fire and Earths decided that it would be a great time to start a war with each other. This had to be some record breaking thing at the academy because Harley was sure that there hadn’t been this many wars in decades.
Harley didn’t bother to go set her bag down before grabbing her lunch. She managed to find Kansas in line, and jumped to stand next to her. “Please tell me they have something good in this place. I am starving.
[/color]” Kansas rolled her eyes, and opened her mouth to say something smart, Harley was sure. Harley cut her a look, and the little girl snapped her mouth closed, and rolled her eyes. Kansas had been irritable with her the last few months, which Harley could understand for a while, but it was becoming annoying. They shouldn’t be fighting with Charolette so close to dying. The old woman didn’t need anymore stress then what was coming to her. Kansas turned on her little flat heel, and walked to some kid that Harley didn’t know. Yay. Strike one against the future guardian. Harley sighed, and peered into the grub line. Gross. Everything was green, and it was no bueno in Harley’s book. She wanted something with a bit more hardiness to it. The redhead started to shift lines when she saw something. Her green eyes narrowed in on a certain blonde whore sitting next to her boyfriend. Not that anyone really knew that. As far as the school population was concerned, minus a few, Samson and Harley were over. What did that sneaky little blonde want with her Sammy? Forgetting all about her food, Harley just grabbed a soda. She didn’t trust that little blonde as far as she could spit. Harley started to walk towards them, but instead of stopping right in front of them, Harley kept walking by. “ Stop that, Sammy.” Harley clenched the soda bottle in her hand as she heard the last word. No one was allowed to call him that except Beatrice and herself. He hated when people called him that. Harley was curious to his reaction, but refused to turn around. She sat down with a group of Water kids, who just looked at her funny. Most of them had gotten use to her, but some of the younger kids still looked at her with fear in their eyes. It was better that way. She’d rather people be afraid of her then friends with her. A girl sitting next to her smiled brightly at her, which Harley tried her very best to return. She had seen this girl hang around with Kansas before, but never learned her name. “ Are you looking for Kansas? I think she’s with Josh, but I could be wrong.” Harley shook her head at the girl, and said, “ Oh no. I talked to her earlier, but thanks.[/color]” Harley glanced behind her to see Altair taking a strand of Samson’s curly mess. “ Your hair, do you ever brush it?” Harley’s temper flared slightly, and she mumbled, “ Don’t stop touching it, and we’ll see how much hair you’ll have left to brush.[/color]” The little girl sitting next to her gasped loudly at the comment, and probably the slight temper rise. Harley didn’t really care. [/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote][/justify][/size]

Altair met Harley's eyes with a smirk. Oh, she knew. She knew a lot, and she wondered if the redhead realized this. She also wondered if Samson saw his girlfriend yet, but he had his head inclined. He was looking at the girl across from him, and she assumed the two were friends. However, she doubted the girl knew about Harley and Samson's continued relationship. Still, noting the Thunder's uncomfortable demeanor, the other girl shot Altair a look. Did she think that the Fire leader would be intimidated? The other girl was a mousy little brunette, nothing to her, really. There were some pockmarks on her face that looked like leftover from acne. Altair practically sneered at her, but she was still keeping her demeanor pleasant and flirty. She didn't want to ruin this just because some bitch thought she could trump her. She was trying to get at another bitch, after all.
Samson lifted his head, and Altair felt even more successful as the redhead walked by nonchalantly. What are you gonna do, Sammy? Call out to her? But you can't, sweetheart. There was nothing he could do in this situation, he was completely at her mercy. C'mon now, Harley baby, this is your lover here. She kept her hands on Samson at all times, bringing her hand across his back. He shuddered, and she knew it was not from pleasure, but who cared at this point? She still had her hands on the bitch's boyfriend. No one liked that. Well, Altair figured that through experience with other girls who had been in committed relationships. She had never been in one herself, she didn't know what jealousy was. In any area, actually, not only relationships. Why should she be jealous of anyone when she was fucking Altair Bennett? She saw no rhyme or reason for that.
Her eyes went over to where Harley was, a girl sitting next to her. The redhead didn't look pleasant, but then again, when did she ever look pleasant? She was a Fire, they weren't the most pleasant of sorts. "Sammy, you're single now, right?" she asked, holding onto his arm now. He moved it around to get her to release him, but there was nothing she could do short of knocking her off the bench. But he looked at her then, his eyes narrowed. Was this him angry? She didn't know, but there was a coldness there. Something sinister. "Leave him alone, all right?" Mousy Girl said sternly, her eyes also electric. Altair lifted an eyebrow, throwing her arm around his shoulders again. "I don't hear Sammy complaining." Because he couldn't, of course. He just sat brewing, while her blue gaze found Harley's again. You don't like this, do you? she thought, wishing she could say these things out loud. But she couldn't. She needed to play her cards just right, she couldn't reveal her hand to the redhead.

Harley’s eyes met Altair’s, and she tried to show no emotion. Her green, vibrant eyes were dull when meeting the blonde’s. Harley had perfected the vacant look when she and Samson had broken up. It was the same look she gave Altair as she passed by the table. Harley didn’t know what the blonde was up to, but she knew it couldn’t be good. If she knew about Harley and Samson’s secret relationship then they’d both be screwed. Harley knew what the alliance meant to Samson, and she would never make him chose between the two. Harley glanced back at the two, and saw one of Samson’s friends shooting Altair a look. “Good.” Harley hated the thought of Altair all over Samson. She’d have to make sure he took twenty showers tonight to get the skank smell off him. Oh, and probably burn those clothes. Harley had to get a grip on the anger boiling beneath the surface. She had been working so hard to learn control, and then some slut had to go mess it up. Again. Harley refused to let the anger get to her though. She closed her eyes, and breathed through her nose. The girl next to her was no longer chattering to her friends, and had gone stiff. It didn’t take long for the heat radiating off of Harley to recede.
The redhead looked at the young girl next to her, and gave a small smile. She didn’t really meant to frighten the young girl, but then again Harley didn’t really care. She was sure she’d get it from Kansas later for scaring her friends to death, but that was life. The redhead listened to Altair talk to Samson like he could actually voice his opinion. Knowing Samson, he was probably thinking she needed to get away from him, but he couldn’t say this. Harley wished that he could; she’d love to hear him tell Altair off. Harley glanced to the side, and flipped her red hair over her shoulder to snake a peek at what Altair was doing to her boyfriend. She had her hands all over him, and Harley’s eyes burned with hate. “Keep your cool, kid. No one knows you’re together, and you don’t want to blow the cover.” She kept repeating it through her mind, but the more she heard Altair’s voice, and imaged her hands all over Samson, the angrier she got. Harley couldn’t stand it much more. Instead of chanting in her mind cooling thoughts, she kept thinking about frying Altair’s hair off. So much heat radiated off her the Water students that had been sitting with her had scurried away. Harley didn’t blame them, really. Heat would make her uncomfortable if she were a Water too.
Harley heard Altair ask if Samson was single. She wanted to shout “no” to the girl, but she knew she couldn’t do that. Not without everyone in the mess hall hearing. The last thing Harley wanted to do was cause Samson to lose something he loved most. She didn’t want him to have the life she now lead because of her stupid mistakes. Though with Altair pissing her off more and more, Harley didn’t know how much longer it would be before she blew up. The advantage Harley had here was that she was definatly more experienced then Altair, and could hold her own in a fight. Harley did know how the kids in this school worked though. They didn’t like to fight fair, and had a tendency to gang up on people. Harley got the feeling that Altair might be one of those girls, but she wouldn’t know. “Leave him alone, all right?” Yes, just leave him the hell alone. That would be perfect. Harley wanted to know what Altair was getting at. She knew it probably had something to do with her, but she didn’t know why Altair had to drag Samson into it or how she even found out about them. No one knew except a few. “I don’t hear Sammy complaining.” Harley felt a growl rumble deep within her chest, and she whipped around. “Of course he can’t complain! He can’t freaking talk, you moron. I know blonde are stupid, but damn you take it to a whole new level, Altair,
[/color]” Harley snapped at her. Her eyes hardened with anger. If there was one thing Harley hated, it was people taking stabs at Samson because he couldn’t speak. That was the last straw. She didn’t give a damn if people found out about them. [/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote][/justify][/size]

Harley was so disappointing. Altair wanted a rise, a reaction. Something she could feed off of. It would be her building block. Have the Earths snuffed you out, Harls? the Fire leader mocked in her own mind. She thought of Lark, and that had been a worse betrayal than Harley’s. She had known the girl personally, and Lark had defected under her leadership. That shit just did not fly with Altair. She liked her rule to go unchallenged, even by her partner. It was a good thing they got along rather well, otherwise all hell would have broken loose within the Fire element by now. But no, the two got along swimmingly. And she could have quite possibly gotten along with Harley if not for the fact that she was playing these games.
And now I have your boy toy. She yearned to say these things out loud, her arms around Samson, claiming him as her own. If she knew what it was like for Harley to watch this, she might have stopped. But she’d never experienced jealousy when seeing an ex-lover in the arms of another, kissing, touching. It was her sloppy seconds, why she should get jealous over that? The redhead seemed to have been abandoned by her group, and Altair didn’t know why, not close enough to feel the predatory heat she radiated. She would have enjoyed it immensely. Then came the anger, but not in the way that Altair wanted. Her eyes hardened into pointed arrows. ”Oh me oh my,” she said scathingly, ”Sammy here can’t talk? Must have flown right over my empty blond head.” She made a sweeping motion over her hair, rolling her eyes. ”Thank you for reminding me, Johnson.” She looked back at Samson, who she noticed was avoiding eye contact with his girlfriend, pretending as if nothing was going on between them.
She took a strand of his hair again. ”He doesn’t need to talk for me, though, I’m sure he can make other sounds.” Altair gave a soft purring noise, the connotation clear. With a firm grip, he took her wrist in his hand and settled it over her other one, patting it in place as if to make a point. ”So tell me, do you know Harley? She used to be on our side. Funny how she comes over here, thinking she can challenge the leader of her old element.” His eyes snapped back to hers, and the girl saw it there, that desire to stand up for Harley, to hurt her. She liked that vicious look, and it would look even better in bed, wouldn’t it? Did she really want to sleep with him? Well, she’d sleep with anything that had a pulse. ”And she’s sticking up for a Thunder…huh. Interesting. Aren’t you going to tell her off? Mind her business? You are her enemy, after all.” This was such a fun game, she really liked playing it. She hoped that Harley would play along with her, it would certainly be more interesting.

Harley wasn’t sure if Altair wanted a reaction from her, but she’d have to work hard for it. Harley had finally managed to get some control on her temper, something she had been working on since she was young. The redhead was proud of herself that she hadn’t snapped at the young blonde yet. It was difficult, but she was managing. The whole situation brought back the whole Jolene situation, and it frustrated her to no end. Why couldn’t people just leave Samson alone? She knew he was attractive, but damn. Couldn’t the poor boy catch a break? Harley thought about it for a moment, and realized it wasn’t really about Samson. No, it was about Harley and her reaction to the situation. The redhead knew that she wouldn’t be able to control what happened if Altair pushed her far enough. Altair probably knew that too. Shit. That really sucked for Harley. It was a shame that people knew how to push her buttons. She really only had three buttons that could be pushed. Samson, her family, and her friends. Though the latter of the three were scarce. Harley hated that she was the vocal point of people’s torture. She made a choice, and now she was reaping the consequences of it. She didn’t mind, but when it started to involve the people she cared about, it got extremely personal.
Honestly, Harley felt bad for her ex-alliance. They had to deal with the tyranny of Altair Bennett, which no one wanted. She was a narcissistic little brat, and Harley wished so desperately that the Fire kids had chosen better. Altair would bring them down far beyond the slums. Heat radiated off the Fire graduate, and most of the table had scattered by this point. Harley’s fist crushed the bottle she had been holding, but she quickly tossed it aside. She didn’t care if people scattered around her, or whispered about her being angry. “Oh, the traitor girl is angry.” Yes, yes she was. Harley didn’t give a damn what they thought. Her once soft emerald eyes had become hard, and filled with hate for the blonde. She knew she shouldn’t show emotion, especially anger. Harley managed to calm herself before facing Altair, and making her snaky comment. Thank God. She was sure that if Altair had seen the emotion play across her face, she would have soaked it up. Harley crossed her arms, and rolled her dull green eyes. Her emotions had flattened out within seconds, and she became the anti-social bitch that she was known for. “You are oh so welcome. I felt the need to remind you, since you can’t seem to keep information in that nappy little head of yours, Bennett.
[/color]” Harley didn’t even spare a glance for her boyfriend. She couldn’t. Not with Altair watching her like a hawk. Daggers; that’s exactly what Harley was shooting Altair at that very moment. How dare she say something like that about Samson. “ Well, I wish the best for that. I’d be sure to get checked before you touch that, Samson. You never know what kind of disease she might have.[/color]” Harley’s voice was flat, no emotion leaking through. Altair was probably the most disrespectful person Harley had ever crossed paths with. “ Altair, you should probably try keep your legs closed, you’d smell less sweetheart. Maybe try a shower once in a while too, make sure it’s nice and clean for the next one. Hopefully it won’t get lost like the last one,[/color]” Harley snapped. Harley let out a dry laugh. Like that little statement would intimidate her. A ninth grade Wind student was scarier then that. The redhead rolled her eyes at the blonde. “ Oh please, Altair. You think that you being the Fire Leader really scares me? Let’s get real here,[/color]” Harley stepped up closer, but still keeping a few feet between them, “ And as far as I’m concerned, I’m still a Fire. I just happen to think for myself, and not let someone else’s problems effect my life.[/color]” Harley would never allow Altair or anyone for that matter to take away her freedom of choice. She had a brain, and she was perfectly capable of thinking for herself, and making decisions on who she would support or not. She happened to disagree with Fire and Thunder. She couldn’t help it. “ Go ahead Samson, tell me off. Tell her how much you can’t stand me, how you let your Thunder friends, and Jolene gang up on me at prom,[/color]” Harley turned to look at him for the first time. Her eyes lacked any feeling for him at all. She thought of when he had broke up with her, and how dead she had felt inside. She dragged it back up to keep her emotions from showing how much she cared for him. [/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote][/justify][/size]

Altair was as predatory as a snake, and if she were a rattlesnake she'd have been letting off her warning sound right then. Nappy? "You're one to talk, firecrotch." She felt the Thunder bristle under her touch. Nothing revealed it on his face, but they both knew that he was outted. She was feeling triumphant until she saw a smile tug at his lips when Harley advised him not to touch her. If Altair thought she could keep her cool, she had been mistaken. How could she have even tried? That wasn't the kind of person she was. Even though she was clean and she made sure of it, the words still sparked her rage. "Jealous? Not many people want to sleep with a skinny little twat. It's gotta be like fucking a bag of bones or something." She felt a little sparking on her skin and realized that Samson was emitting an electrical charge. Was he even aware of it? She removed her hand, glanced at him before turning back to his girlfriend.
Harley's insults held no water, but it was the fact that she had the nerve to state them that had Altair's eyes narrowed into slits, resembling that snake again. "You're cute," she said shortly. "Grasping at straws? Please, you can do better. Try me." Let's see if this bitch wanted to piss her off more, this could be a fun little game. Have at it, Harley, she was just encouraging the predator, bringing her out. Altair would fight. She didn't care that this was a mess hall. She whipped that Earth bitch in there, she'd whip the Fire traitor all the same. "There's a reason I'm leader." Her blue eyes sparked with rage. "Have the Earths made you soft and stupid? You've got nothing, Johnson." Fight me bitch, I will end you. She was confident in this fact. Always confident. Even when she knew she had no chance against a college student. A college student who still considered herself a Fire? "And what's that supposed to mean?" she snapped, half-rising out of her seat. "Just because you turned tour back on your element doesn't make you any better than us. That isn't how it works, baby." Harley was following what she believed in, sure, but she did have to know that she couldn't have the best of both words.
Harley challenged the Thunder then, something that surprised the blond. She looked at Samson. What're you gonna do? It would be interesting to see him tell off his girlfriend, because she was sure by now that the both of them had an unspoken connection that communicated their knowledge. Would he think it wasn't worth it, what with the things Altair knew? "Don't think he can say anything, now can he?" Harley did point that out, after all, and she lifted her eyebrow as if expecting a challenge to those words. It felt like a stalemate. He didn't look at Harley. Altair just smirked. "What's that, Sammy, tired of playing both fields?" She knew just what she was suggesting. Now that she was off of him, Samson took advantage and rose, looking at Altair. "Leaving?" And he walked away, leaving Altair to glare at Harley. "I know everything, so don't even pretend," she seethed dangerously.
[dayum, harley is getting real. o.o]

Harley wasn’t stupid, actually far from it. She had dealt with young Fire students since she had been here, and they got overly cocky. Hell, she had been there once, but she had learned her place real quick. Harley felt herself smirk at the growing anger of the young Fire. Harley laughed, and said, “Sweetheart, I shower everyday. Don’t hate on my baby fine hair.
[/color]” Harley gave her a smile that wasn’t all too friendly. Harley didn’t care what Altair said about her appearance. Harley raised a brow when she saw Samson smile from the corner of her eye. Good to know that he wasn’t interested in Altair. Though, she’d still be making sure that later he scrubbed down five times. The redhead rolled her eyes at the insult Altair tried to throw at her. She had heard worse. “ Oh come Altair, you can do better than that. Not many people know what it’s like to fuck this. I’m not like you, spreading my legs whenever something with a pulse shows interest in me.[/color]” Harley’s eyes narrowed when she said this. Really, the blonde had it coming to her. Harley saw Altair remove her hands from Samson. She cocked her head to the side at the sight, but said nothing about it. The redhead smirked. As long as she was getting under the young girls skin, she didn’t give a damn what she said about her. Harley gave Altair an innocent look, and said, “ Oh, Altair, don’t flatter me. You don’t want to open that can of worms blondie, but since you insist, I think I will,[/color]” Harley’s eyes gave a mischievous twinkle when she looked at Altair. The redhead didn’t even flinch when looking the blonde in the eye. “ Altair, you wanna know what you remind me of? A public restroom: easy to access and always open.[/color]” Harley knew that she was probably being too cruel, but Altair started it, and Harley sure as hell would be ending it. If Altair couldn’t take the heat, then she shouldn’t have jumped into the fire. (Literally) “ There’s a reason I’m Leader.” Harley let out a dry laugh to this. Yeah, she knew there was a reason. Probably because no one else wanted it, and Altair was a manipulative bitch who would do anything or anyone to get in power. “ No, they haven’t. I’ve always been this way Altair. You people just never realized this because you let other people make your decisions for you.[/color]” Harley shrugged lightly. That may be true, but Harley didn’t care. She was fine with having “nothing” as Altair put it. Harley snorted. She didn’t believe she was better than anyone. “ Oh please. I never said I was better then you. I may have turned my back on the element as a whole, but not the people in, Altair. This element, it doesn’t define who I am.[/color]” Harley watched Samson, knowing he wouldn’t do anything. She almost wished he had because he pretty much screwed himself by walking away. Harley knew that Altair knew, it was the only reason the stupid blonde seemed to be messing with him. Someone had let her in on the secret, and all Harley knew was that whoever had spilled the beans to Altair had better watch themselves. The redhead watched as Samson stormed away, leaving her to deal with Altair. Well, this should be interesting. Harley’s eyes turned to stare at Altair when she stated she knew what was going on, and shouldn’t pretend. “ Altair, I don’t what you’ve been smoking, but Samson and I have been over since Jolene.[/color]” Harley’s voice was hard, and giving off warning to the blonde to mind her own business. She had no place to be putting her little nose into other’s business. [/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote][/justify][/size]

Altair knew she was easy, but had no shame in it. Why should she? She was safe and fucking was something that everyone did. She simply didn't care to get to know whoever's bed she was sharing that night. Why get feelings involved in something so primal, something for pleasure and procreation? Irgo, Altair saw no point in insulting someone's sexual identity. She fucked who she wanted because she liked it. It was a hobby, like model trains or playing monopoly. "Keeping them closed like a good churchgoing girl." She scoffed. "Well good for you, but that means jack shit." She shrugged her shoulders. "Well, it does mean that your twat must be full of cobwebs." Unless she's only spreading them for Samson, which still didn't mean much to Altair. Monogamy was boring, she didn't even want to entertain the idea of it. She could still feel the electricity lacing Sam's skin like a threat, and she wondered how close to snapping he was. It would be quite interesting for him to snap and punch her. But maybe he had those never punching a girl morals. She hated men like that. If you truly respected women, you'd treat them just like any other opponent.
This conversation felt like the verbal form of a game of chess. A war, placing their pieces right where they were needed. Altair studied her enemy. She stepped up to the plate, and the Fire leader almost admired that. But honestly, the only person she admired was herself. She tilted her head at the quip. "Ah, that's good one. What are we, in the fifth grade? Gonna tell a yo momma joke next?" She rolled her vivid blue eyes. Did Harley think she could intimidate her? There was no chance, Altair was far too confident in herself to ever back down from something like this. "Tell me then, who's making my decisions? Who is above me? If you think that being in this alliance is having other people do things for you, then you're obviously the one with the problem." Her voice was calm and controlled, she felt on top of this right now. "The people in?" Altair repeated. "The people in don't want anything to do with you. Why would they? Turning your back on the alliance is the same thing as turning your back on everyone who might have once given a fuck about you." The Fires were close knot, something she was proud of her element for. They stuck together, thick or thin. Harley was no longer a part of that and never again would be.
Altair smirked, placing her hands on the table and leaning in. "And Jolene's gone." Altair had heard some rumors about the girl, mainly that she'd been shipped off to the looney bin. Whatever the case, she wasn't at the Academy anymore. "So what, did you move back in on him after she disappeared?" Altair didn't know the details of that situation, probably never would. That didn't matter. She had enough information. "I'm done playing games with you, cunt." A strange sound came from the mousy girl's throat, sounding like a cross between protest and disgust. "Ever go near the alliance again, and I will find out." Flames appeared in the palm of her hand, a small bonfire on her palm. "And I have half a mind to teach you right here." Her eyes narrowed in challenge, features stark and hard. She wanted this fight, and she planned on having one, whether Harley wanted it or not. Teach her to fuck with Altair Bennett.

Normally, Harley wouldn’t care about throwing a punch here or there. She was widely known for not being afraid of throwing a punch, but her gut was telling her that if she threw the first punch then she would be in a world of trouble. Not only would she be caving in the face of a minor, but the face of the Fire leader. Granted, Altair did annoy the hell out of her, she just didn’t want to play some stupid game with the girl because she was bored with whatever life she had. Harley rolled her eyes at the church going girl comment. Hardly. Her grandmother was a Pagan, and they didn’t attend church. “I am far from a church going girl, for you information. I have no religion, so saying that was just pointless.
[/color]” Harley sighed, and rolled her eyes at the blonde. This could go on for hours if they let it, and quite frankly Harley didn’t have a few hours to spare. “ Whatever Altair. I’d rather have cobwebs then every guy in this school knowing what it’s like to have a turn on me. Call me crazy, but I have some respect for myself, and have a young sister to set an example for,[/color]” said Harley. Harley couldn’t even think about sleeping with that many guys. She had only slept with three guys, and not even Samson had gotten a piece of this yet. Harley was quite proud of herself. Harley was getting bored of the verbal game that seemed to be happening between the two girls. Harley’s eyes sparkled when Altair asked if they were gonna start in with the yo mama jokes. Funny, Harley didn’t have a mother to diss, so if it happened it wouldn’t bother her. The red head gave a slight smirk, and shrugged. “ I feel like we are. I mean, you’re picking a fight and provoking me by trying to get with my ex. I was almost certain that grown women didn’t do that,[/color] Harley said, humor lacing her voice. If Altair was trying to pick a fight, then Harley was going to have some fun with it. Harley crossed her arms, and leaned against the table, watching the “enemy” as her mind was calling her. The enemy was going on about who was higher then her, and Harley had half the mind to be a smart ass about it, but she contained herself, and allowed the enemy to continue talking about things she probably didn’t understand a lick of. Politics were a nasty thing, and it was the reason Harley never went for Fire Leader. “ When you weren’t Fire Leader, Altair, tell me, did you do what they told you? When we went to war with Earth because they thought Nell had murdered that Thunder girl. Did you side with Fire because he said too, or was it because you knew Nell had killed her?[/color]” Harley’s green eyes shimmered with a challenge. Now, what Altair had said was probably true about people in the alliance wanting nothing to do with her, and that was fine. “ You know, that’s just fine with me, Altair. During war you find out who your true friends are.[/color]” It stung for Harley to say those words out loud since she had gone to school with most of those kids for a long time. Green eyes watched as Altair leaned to, what Harley guessed, was to be intimidating. Harley scoffed at the girl’s effort to be scary. “ As if,[/color]” said Harley. The red head looked over at the girl that had been sitting at the table with Samson. Harley didn’t know her, but was curious to why she didn’t like Altair. It was obvious that she didn’t, but Harley couldn’t think much of it before Altair threatened her. Harley cocked her head to the side as Altair said she’d teach her a lesson. Harley’s eyes narrowed at the fire in the blonde’s hand. “ Are you really challenging me, Altair?[/color]” Harley raised her hands, and allowed a fire to build in between her palms. Harley knew that fighting fire with fire would be useless, that she had learned when she had fought with Josh. From the corner of her eye, Harley could see the crowd of kids curious to see what was going on with the two Fire girls. “ Altair, you know I’m more advanced then you, and this will end badly.[/color]” Ice laced Harley’s voice as she said it.

Altair arched an eyebrow. So Harley didn't have a religion, she couldn't give a rat's ass about that. ”It was a metaphor,” she said, and if there was any doubt of her actual intelligence, it was squashed with the fact that she knew what it was. She had to laugh at the blond's next words. Harley must have thought mighty high of herself. "Let them know. I have respect for myself. I just do what I want, when I want, because I want to. And I like to have fun." That was fun for her. And she didn't feel like she should have to explain herself to this bitch, explain what she was and why she did it. She was Altair Bennett, she did what she wanted. "I have a little sister, too, but she's her own person. She makes her decisions based off herself." Rowena was younger than her by only a few minutes, but she was still the old one. And Ro did what she wanted. Too bad they both did shitty things. The three had gone down the wrong paths, but could they blame each other for that? Who did they blame? Their parents? Society. Altair didn't ponder questions like that. They were better left up to the imagination.
Altair really wished she had gum right now. That's that her thoughts went to. She had a craving for it, but unfortunately she didn't have any of her own. She pulled at her ear when the redhead spoke, giving her a deadpan stare. "You don't think grown women do that? Obviously you don't know much about the world." Not only was she an innocent little prude, but she also didn't get that shit like that happened. When you pissed Altair off, you got her horns coming straight for your throat. And she would target anyone around you when that happened. Even your boyfriend. She'd sleep with Samson for the satisfaction of knowing it was Harley's boyfriend. But he clearly would not sleep with her. "I didn't even go here," she said on the matter about the war that the triplets had entered the school during the calming down of. "But yes, I'd have fought. Because I am a Fire, and I hate the bitch anyway." She rolled her shoulders in a shrug. It was simple for her. She was loyal, that's what loyalty meant. "Clearly," Altair drawled on the matter of war and friends and this bitch was still talking and she really just wanted a fight.
Altair wasn't buying it, but she had to admit, Harley was putting on an exceptional act. Good for her, she could pretend like the best of them. By now, the Fire leader knew better. She knew everything, and she had the power in her grasp to bring the bitch down. She just wanted to play her cards right so that she could use everything to her full advantage. Altair watched the fire form. "I'm not afraid of you Johnson," she said calmly, blue eyes sharp like icicles aimed for Harley. She didn't fear anything, as a matter of fact. She couldn't think of things like that in a situation like this, now could she? That's how she approached every fight, with full confidence in her abilities, believing she'd come out on top. And she did win her fair share of fights, she wasn't weak by any standards, but she also lost her fair share as well. "We'll just have to see about that." Without another word, the fire Altair had summoned lashed out in a hose of flames toward the graduate. More experience? She didn't give a fuck. She'd tear the bitch down before another word came from her stupid mouth.
